Chapter 59: I will seek up and down
Shangguan Yu slept until dawn the next morning, and the new day was a sunny day, and the sun shone directly into the cabin.
After washing up and having breakfast, Shangguan Yu came to the flight control room, Pierre was already waiting for him, and reported to him the situation in the second half of last night, the zombie cleanup task on the lower deck has been basically completed, all the zombies have been cleaned up, and the trapped people below have also been rescued.
Now a large number of personnel are carrying out the corpses on the lower floor, and at the same time carrying out the task of disinfection and cleaning of the whole ship.
The 23 survivors who were taken out of the escape pod of the Luna nuclear submarine were also properly housed on the Vulcan frigate and later transferred to the Omega aircraft carrier.
As for the big octopus at the stern of the ship, I am going to send someone to clean it up in a small boat this morning, but Shangguan Yu needs to be on the scene to personally command.
"So what are you waiting for?" Shangguan said: "Let's go now, the cleaning task on the lower deck continues, the emergency repair task of the power system does not stop, we must restore the power as soon as possible." β
With that, he led a group of people out of the flight control room and prepared to go to the stern of the ship. After looking at the people who were with her, she didn't see Senna, and after asking the people who accompanied her, she learned that she had gone to the lower deck.
When he came to the stern of the ship, he saw a group of people surrounding the big octopus, and Thomas climbed onto a huge tentacle, holding a dagger to cut the tentacles, because the skin of the tentacles was very hard, he could only hold the dagger and pull back and forth on the antennae.
"Hey, old soup!" Shangguan Yu shouted below.
"Hi," Thomas said to him, stopping what he was doing.
"What are you doing? Do you want to cut the meat and burn it for us to eat? Shangguan asked.
βYes? What did you say?β Thomas asked quizzically.
Shangguan then remembered that Senna was not around, no one was there to translate for him, and he couldn't speak English, so it was a little difficult to communicate with Thomas.
Shangguan pressed the walkie-talkie in his ear and asked, "Xena, are you there?" β
But he didn't get Sena's answer, Shangguan turned around and looked, and saw Xiao Luzi and Kiki not far away helping the GI busy on the deck, beckoning him to come over, he knew that although Xiao Luzi was only a freshman in high school, his English level was quite good.
Xiao Luzi ran over, and Shangguan asked him to translate.
With the translation, Thomas understood Shangguan's words, and said, "Brother Yu, I plan to cut it down and go back to study it." But I couldn't cut it, it was too hard. β
In addition to Thomas, he had two medics by his side to help him. Thomas is from Elysium Labs, so he's the only one here who is an expert on zombie viruses.
"I'll come," Shangguan Yu said, came to Thomas, took his dagger, and with a slight effort on the antennae, cut off a large piece of epidermal tissue, and handed it to Thomas.
Thomas put the epidermal tissue away in an iron box.
"Does this big monster have anything to do with zombies?" Shangguan asked.
"Theoretically, it shouldn't be infected by virus A, because virus A only infects higher animals, and as we know it, it only infects mammals," Thomas said. And the octopus is clearly a lower animal. So I wanted to cut a little bit and go back to research. β
Shangguan looked upwards and said, "But yesterday you also saw that the Achilles heel of the big octopus is in its eyes, and if you cut some flesh on the tentacles, will you not be able to find out anything?" β
Thomas also looked up, and when he saw the huge octopus, he couldn't help but say with a little fear: "Brother Yu, what you said is really reasonable, but ......"
"I understand," Shangguan said, and then took his dagger and walked up, and cut it vigorously in the octopus's eye socket, only to see a jet-black liquid shoot out, which startled him, but still cut off a large piece, handed it to Thomas, and said, "Let's study it carefully, and see if there is a virus A or other suspicious microorganisms." In other words, if there really is, it won't infect people again, right? β
"No, after the host dies, the virus will die very quickly." Thomas replied, taking the slice and leaving with the two medics.
Shangguan looked back at Xiao Luzi, and saw that he looked disgusted, so he asked, "How is it, are you scared?" β
"No, no, it's just a little disgusting." Xiao Luzi replied timidly.
Shangguan pulled him down from the big octopus and sighed: "It seems that I really want to learn a foreign language well, and it is so troublesome to communicate!" β
Xiao Luzi said with a smile: "I think it's best to let Sena be the teacher of the eldest brother." β
Shangguan Yu feigned anger, pointed at him and said, "Do you kid also think that I and Sena are getting along?" β
"No, no, no, how dare I, Sena and eldest brother are pure sister-brother love, sister-brother love."
"How are you and Kiki?"
"It's okay, big brother, Kiki and I just feel good about each other." Xiao Luzi's face couldn't help but turn red when he said this.
"Didn't he hate you anymore?" Shangguan asked.
At the Elysium Island Medical Station, Kiki's foreign adoptive father turned into a corpse, and in order to save Kiki, Xiao Luzi decisively shot the zombie after the corpse transformation. Shangguan remembered that at first, Kiki still hated him very much.
Xiao Luzi said: "Alas, big brother. At first, she hated me, but when she learned that I had killed my own corpse father, she gradually understood the truth. She and I actually share the same disease, so she doesn't hate me anymore. β
When he was at the Elysium Hotel, Shangguan Yu retreated with Xiao Luzi, and met Xiao Luzi's corpse father on the way, and Xiao Luzi also shot him with his own hands, so he and Qiqi were in the same disease.
Shangguan Yu sighed, patted Xiao Luzi on the shoulder and said, "What we have to do now is to live well, only in this way can we be worthy of those dead relatives, understand?" β
"Yes, big brother!"
"Alright, let's get busy."
Next, Shangguan Yu and a few people took weapons and took a lifeboat to tie down the deck, and came to the sea below the stern, only to see the big octopus wrapping the entire stern tightly.
A few more men tied their bodies with ropes and came down from the deck, using chainsaws to cut the body of the giant octopus and try to get it off the carrier.
If you don't get it down, the power system will be repaired, and the aircraft carrier will not be able to drive away.
Shangguan and several soldiers were on the lifeboat, always facing the surrounding sea to prevent being attacked by the mourning dolphins, but fortunately, they didn't find a mourning dolphin coming for half a day.
The work of cleaning up the large octopus lasted a whole morning, and it was not until noon that it was completely cleaned up.
During this time, Shangguan Yu received a call from Sena, who turned out to be investigating in the cabin below as a federal agent.
Shangguan couldn't help but smile and said, "The world is destroyed, and your secret service organization no longer exists, do you still want to carry out your so-called investigation work?" β
Sena said: "Alas, it's also a professional habit, I just want to find out the culprit behind this zombie crisis." β
